Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1609348A1] A mower deck (100, 200) includes a blower (130, 230) to lift blades of grass or vegetation for cutting. The blower (130, 230) may be mounted above and to the rear of the mower deck (100, 200), and may rotate on a vertical axis spaced from the axes of the cutter blades (104, 105, 106, 204, 205, 206). A passage or duct extends from the cutting chambers (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106) under the mower deck (100, 200) to the blower (130, 230). Cutter blades (104, 105, 106, 204, 205, 206) may be used having essentially flat or planar surfaces to reduce noise, or the mower deck may be used with conventional blades. The mower deck (100, 200) may be configured with several alternative discharge modes, so that clippings and debris may be collected in a container, or may be dispersed to the rear or side of the mower. <IMAGE>
